Hi everyone,

Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread.

- Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.- Photoshopping is allowed but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation.- Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun.

Visiting a local museum today so was able to stay warm and get up close to a well preserved coyote. There's a pack near us that have been getting very noisy at night - a sign of spring perhaps. This one was very quiet!

And on the way back ran into buffalo #243 which was very much alive ...

These bronze farm animals commemorate the establishment of the Surrey Docks Urban Farm at its present site halfway between Greenwich and Tower Bridge. In 1968 the animals were herded along the Thames riverside from their former home at nearby Greenland Dock to their new home a few hundred yards to the west.

Tony, a very interesting choice of subject -- well-preserved vs alive animals. My favorite is the coyote. I love how you composed your shot -- with the coyote coming into the frame from the corner.

Brenda, what a finding -- bronze farm animals! Great job capturing them from different angles and bringing out the sculpture details. My favorite one? The pigs. Just look at those faces! Adorable!

This afternoon (Feb 25) we took a boat ride on Canyon Lake east of Phoenix. The lake is surrounded by high, rocky cliffs adorned with saguaro cactus, chollas and other desert plants. We were fortunate to see a small herd of eight bighorn sheep: six older ewes and two lambs. We were quite far away (~300 m) and was pleased to have my long lens with me.
